“Dear PoPville,
This morning around 9:30 am a neighbor found a dog near 15th and Harvard St NW. The dog had a collar but no tag, and was sweet and tame. The neighbor called the Washington Humane Society, who picked him/her up. I snapped this picture right as the Humane Society were taking him/her.”
From an email:
“FOUND in Southeast DC. Her breed is probably shih tzu, less than 10 lbs. Photos accepted as proof of ownership or identify the correct location where she was lost. Email me at dave at citydogsrescuedc.org”
“Dear PoPville,
This evening, this little guy (photo attached) wandered into my yard and was limping. He must be from 16th Street Heights/Petworth, as he has a Petworth Animal Hospital vaccine tag. I’ve posted to our neighborhood listserves, but no one recognizes him. We have given him a bath and a meal for the evening, but surely his real family misses him! I can be reached at [email protected].”

Thanks to all who passed on from the Washington Humane Society:
“The Washington Humane Society and the Washington Animal Rescue League today announced a definitive agreement to merge the two organizations to create the first end-to-end animal care organization in a major U.S. city. Founded in 1870 and 1914, respectively, WHS and WARL will bring together a comprehensive set of animal care and protection programs that touch the lives of more than 60,000 animals each year, including: Rescue and Adoption, Humane Law Enforcement, Low Cost Veterinary Services, Animal Control, Behavior and Learning, Spay/Neuter, Pets for Life and many other programs.
“Dear PoPville,
Every February, I have a big birthday party for my Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Kingsley, and invite Petworth dogs and their humans to come celebrate.
Last year I had 22 dogs in my row house! All are well-behaved, mooch at the treat table (I bake organic biscuits for them), and have a blast tearing open a piñata filled with more smelly dog biscuits.
Each year there’s a different party theme. This year it’s Star Wars, since Kingsley’s turning 7.
(I will also mention here Kingsley is a National canine agility champion — the only dog in Washington, DC with that title!)”
Ed. Note: While this might be a bit unusual, this is the best – anyone of you self hating, insufferable curmudgeons tempted to be rude in the comments can just click the little ‘x’ in the right hand corner of the page. Thanks.
Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)
A reader reports on the passing of missing dog Yuri:
“The family is pulling down the signs, but are asking for the public’s help to take down signs if they see any.”
